It is no secret in the profound autism community that finding staff to support the unique needs of our population is next to impossible. One of the main reasons is that skilled staff require a wage currently not funded by the State of Texas. Advocacy has been occurring for years to try to change this, and we are grateful that leaders in both parties have publicly recognized the need to address the crisis affecting our vulnerable population.
We are working with Time to Care Texas to coordinate outreach to Texas lawmakers. We need your help to ensure this momentum isn't lost during this extremely busy legislative session.
Here's How You Can Help:
Please take a moment to send a quick message to your Texas legislators asking them to raise the wages of Direct Service Providers in Texas. We've made it simple for you to personalize your message in the provided box.
Note: when you type in your address, your legislators will be identified for you. No need to look anything up!
We'll continue to keep you updated as things progress. Thank you for taking the time to take action!
